MapleStory Nostalgia [Poem]
- 8 years ago
Lyrics:
Maple-Story. 2 words, or is it one?
But in reality it doesn't matter,
it's a game to be played for fun.
10 years and counting for me,
but even more for some.
To think it started with a hunting ground,
we called it HHG1.
To smuggling cakes in the PQ,
for that extra speedy run.
4 Original job branches, yet we always
found the one.
The class we'd play for hours a day,
our journey had just begun.
Seemingly simple aspects, posed us such
a chore,
levelling, travelling, & making friends,
but we always wanted more.
2nd job was our goal, 3rd job was our
dream, 4th job was a myth, and was rarely
to be seen.
Orbis held the path to all, but amidst
the journey was a cabin so small, a
place to hide from such a creature,
thank you Nexon, for this exhilerating
feature.
Only the brave would linger outdoors,
to scout for the monster that we all
feared, eyes peeled glued to the chat,
The Crimson Balrog has appeared.
A time where the only potentials
were ourselves, Unlocked for free and at
our own discretion. 15 players against a
boss with 8 arms, how it quickly became
our undying obsession.
To be the best but in a better way,
Idols like Tiger & the Fang of Blade,
playing drop games both night & day,
Friends all around meant you were never
a stray.
It's times like these that get us
thinking,
How time like papulatus manages to fly,
Embedding the fear of naturally blinking,
Because each time you do, a patch goes by.
A patch that changes what already seemed
perfect,
A piece of our childhood that would
slowly decay,
It was upon us a day that would cause a
big impact,
A patch so big it would turn us away.
It is many years later and to this day,
the Players of MapleStory continue to
pray,
for the game they loved to please come
back,
And for nexon to make it available on
Apple Mac.
